My Jennie Sunglasses Obsession Begins
So last Tuesday I’m scrolling Instagram when BLAM – Jennie drops new airport pics wearing these insane hexagonal sunglasses. My brain went “WANT. NOW.” Fumbled with my phone so hard I nearly dropped it in my coffee.
Grabbed my laptop and googled “Jennie Blackpink shades” like my life depended on it. Spent two hours straight:
- Screen-shotting every angle of her frames
- Zooming in on hinge details till pixels blurred
- Comparing 20 different online stores selling “Jennie style” pairs
The Hunting & Trial Phase
Hit up three local shops downtown after work Wednesday. Sales guy at Sunglass Hut gave me major side-eye when I showed him Jennie’s bubblegum pink lens selfie. “Honey,” he says, “those look like AliExpress specials.” Rude.
Ordered five pairs online Thursday morning:
- Gold cat-eye with blue lenses
- Tortoise shell acetate squares
- Mirrored aviators (totally not Jennie but looked cool)
- Two cheap plastic hexagons – one clear, one black
Package arrived Saturday smelling like factory chemicals. Threw open the box so fast I ripped the shipping label.
The Great Jennie Experiment
Sunday became look-test day. Piled all my sunglasses on the bed along with Jennie pics on my iPad. Started swapping glasses every five minutes:
Try 1: Gold cat-eyes with baggy white tee. Looked less Jennie, more 80s real estate agent.
Try 2: Clear hexagons with leather jacket. Felt like a radioactive fly. Weirdly loved it.
Try 3: Black hexagons with baseball cap. Instantly did finger hearts at the mirror. Bingo.
Epic Conclusion
Wore the black hexagons to grocery store Monday. Got three compliments in the produce aisle – one from a grandma clutching avocados. Moral of the story? 90% of Jennie’s vibe comes from acting like you own the place. Other 10% is cheap plastic frames from China.
